In the wake of Baltimore and Ferguson, we're going to be discussing the public policy that created the ghettos in America. What did the government do to contibute these situations? At what level of the government did they occur? Was there any legislative remedy to these issues, and were they adhered to? What affect did these issues have on African Americans then? What effect do they have on African Americans now? If there is a lasting legacy we are seeing today, what can we do to address it?

We'll try to cover as much as we can in our next broadcast. Please join us!

Graphic Policy is back with a brand new episode with special guest, and award winning journalist Spencer Ackerman.

Comics have often featured torture as a method for the heroes to extract information or get them to their goal. We most recently saw this in Marvel and Netflix's Daredevil, where torture is a key point in advancing the hero's plot. We'll discuss torture in comics, and its place in the modern stories and the world.
